Crash

Sho? is one of the tracks by Sho? ;)

We performed an acoustic version of it recently on Dubai Eye Radio, on the show Open Mic with Zahra Soar.

Pretty different version that the usual electric one, but it's just a taste of new music to come soon!..

Sho?_acoustic live on Dubai Eye Radio

They are born in a land
Where the story has been written so many years ago
The book is big (weighs too much)
(But) on the 1st page you know how the story ends

All the choices they can’t make
Limitations that they face
Everything they they’ve never been
They can't stand up for themselves
They won’t let you see their face
You don’t even know what it means

They think their steps are meant to be followed
But I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna go!
This path is overused, don’t you know
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna go!

I can't accept this is normal
Not tradition…don’t even call it culture!
There is no way to justify
Those black shadows with their beautiful covered eyes

Not a chance to use their brain
Is this how they’re gonna to learn?
Who lets them play god for a day?
They don't say but we won't ask
Nothing changes
We are stuck in this chain

They think their steps are meant to be followed
But I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna go!
This path is overused, don’t you know
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna go!

They think their steps are meant to be followed
I don’t wanna go
This path is overused, don’t you know?

They think their steps are meant to be followed
But I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna go!
This path is overused, don’t you know
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna…
They think their steps are meant to be followed
But I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna go!
This path is overused, don’t you know
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna go!


Go, go, go, go, go, go
I don’t want, I don’t wanna go!
Go, go, go, go, go
No I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna go!
I don’t wanna go!
I don’t wanna go!
I don’t want, I don’t want, I don’t wanna go!
Go!
Don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna go,
I don’t want, I don’t want, I don’t wanna go!

No black no white
No dark no light
No big no small
You want it all
You go so far, you leave behind
The things you like, you’ll miss them all
On moving sands, you don’t sink
You fly so high, we’re you gonna land?

Everything, everything that you’re looking for 
Feels so small when you hit the wall

Crash, crash, crash, crash
Into the wall
Crash, crash, crash, crash
When you want it all

You don’t listen
Cause you don’t care
You’re so busy
No time to spare
Step by step is not your thing
Reach the end for you is to win
We are here, and you are there
We are alive but you are dead

Everything, everything that you’re looking for 
Feels so small when you hit the wall

Crash, crash, crash, crash
Into the wall
Crash, crash, crash, crash
When you want it all

No black no white
No dark no light
No big no small
You want it all
Step by step is not your think
Reach the end for you is to win
We are here, and you are there
We are alive but you are dead

Everything, everything that you’re looking for 
Feels so small when you hit the wall

Crash, crash, crash, crash
Into the wall
Crash, crash, crash, crash
When you want it all 



Crash_EP Version

People have lots of pride
They just tend to talk too much
Even if they have nothing to say
They release their egos all the way
People have lots of pride 
They just tend to talk too much
If you don’t know what you’re talking about
Do me a favor and shut up!

Words are gone with the wind… haven’t you heard?
Maybe you were talking…
Actions matter but that you should know
The stuff you do remains
If you don’t do a thing it doesn’t

You can tell what you think
I don’t say you should not
But please think and then talk
Stick to what you thought
Otherwise I will laugh
At your thoughts
Don’t you state what you say it’s the truth
You weren’t even there!

People have lots of pride
They just tend to talk too much
Even if they have nothing to say
They release their egos all the way
People have lots of pride 
They just tend to talk too much
If you don’t know what you’re talking about
Do me a favor and shut up!

You think you are a rebel
Cause you don’t follow standards 
For the things that you do
No one will follow you
You just want to stand out from the crowd
The biggest problem is
That you don’t know how

You can tell what you think
I don’t say you should not
But please think and then talk
Stick to what you thought
Otherwise I will laugh
At your thoughts
Don’t you state what you say it’s the truth
You weren’t even there!

People have lots of pride
They just tend to talk too much
Even if they have nothing to say
They release their egos all the way
People have lots of pride 
They just tend to talk too much
If you don’t know what you’re talking about
Do me a favor and shut up!

You tell me to make music I need balls
I tell you to be a man, you need more!
Punks don’t live a life full of maids
Know DIY?! Do It Yourself!
I’m sorry if you can’t do what I do
It’s just sad, shame on you

People have lots of pride
They just tend to talk too much
Even if they have nothing to say
They release their egos all the way
People have lots of pride 
They just tend to talk too much
If you don’t know what you’re talking about
Do me a favor and shut up!
People have lots of pride
They just tend to talk too much
Even if they have nothing to say
They release their egos all the way
People have lots of pride 
They just tend to talk too much
If you don’t know what you’re talking about
Do me a favor and shut up!

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!


P(h)ride

At the end
Of the day
I’m exhausted
I don’t know what to say
I see your face
We’re behind
Missing out
Life is moving

I don’t know how to stop
I am loosing control
This is not what I want
(If) I did, not anymore
I don’t know where life is taking me
I’m going with it, but I should be taking the wheel… I should take it

Hesitation leads to frustration
Go ahead, no pain no gain
Make mistakes, try again
It’s all part of the game

At the end 
Of the day
Realize months have gone by
Where was I?
Was I awake?
In the meantime life is moving
 
I don’t know how to stop
I am loosing control
This is not what I want
If I did, not anymore
I don’t know where life is taking me
I’m going with it, but I should be taking the wheel… I should take it

Hesitation leads to frustration
Go ahead, no pain no gain
Make mistakes, try again
It’s all part of the…
Hesitation leads to frustration
Go ahead, no pain no gain
Make mistakes, try again
It’s all part of the game

Game, game
It’s all part of the game

Punk, Rock, Metal, Reggae (Ska), Funk and a host of other forms of music find common ground in the musical expressions of Shو? The band which was pulled into the limelight by its unique style, was active in the UAE’s underground music sphere between June 2009 to end of 2010.

Shو? began with the meeting of two like minded musicians – Rizal, lead guitarist and Zara on vocals, backed by a dynamic line of talented musicians. Shو? (meaning What? in Arabic) features an amalgamation of different genres of music strongly influenced by the amazing multicultural mix that is Dubai. Rizal’s sound features 6 and 8 string guitars and a variety of pedals to give their music a unique sound. Zara's vocals focus on the message of nonconformity, standing up for what you believe in and fighting for what you want. 

The milestone moment came in October 2010, when they won the Diesel U Music Road to Sound City competition. This secured them an opening slot in the Dubai Sound City Festival 2009, and took them all the way to Vienna for the Diesel U Music World Tour at the end of that year.

In August 2010 Shو? released their first EP entitled “I Don’t Wanna Go!” including fan favorites such as the reggae-metal Crash and the self-titled Sho?

After a season of performances during the Fall of 2010 Shو? disbanded at the end of the year. 

Some songs are still available for streaming and download at www.reverbnation.com/shoband
